Parts Suppliers for the XS650

[Jim]

I keep a list of OEM and aftermarket suppliers for our bikes, then try to pass that along to the new guys when they join.
Someone suggested yesterday that the list should be in the Tech section. Doh.... I knew that...

Anyway, here's my list. This is a mish mash of aftermarket and OEM suppliers. New suppliers and comments welcome. Soon as this list is finalized, I'll ask @Travis to add it to the Tech section.

For when problems arise…

They are good for some earlier parts (73-76). HVC does a lot more for the Yamaha RD line but those bikes shared a lot of parts with the XS.

Late addition, for performance parts and their oil filter conversion

This under a new catagory in the tech menu???.

Is the list going to b broken into areas, electrical, carbs, that sort of thing

Are some people who supply shop services added, like yourself, old-skool carbs. West, (Counterbalence cycles),
Other seat manufacturers.

Up to Travis, but I just figured it'd go under the first heading with the ID and manual info... dunno.

I'm just wingin' it, but I figured the name of the company and a short blurb on parts quality, cost and shipping/support.

Yeah, that's prolly a good idea.

Yeah, that's prolly a good idea.

1), Probly a good place to put it.

2), Sounds comprehensive.

3), B one of those threads that will need updating, adding or removal as things change.

Sounds good

Another UK/Europe supplier for mainly electronic ignition but also stator rewind service: https://rexs-speedshop.com/product-category/classic-japanese/xs650/
And another supplier with a good range of products (similar to Yambits): https://www.motorcycleproducts.co.uk/yamaha-xs650-s-special-1979-parts/2/32145 (use the filter to select correct year/model).

 

[Raymond]

And a useful site for parts and for reference - find your part and it gives info including new and superseded part nos. Oh, and they have service info like torque settings and specs.

I've used Dime City Cycles, and Old Bike Barn in the past. Also TC Bros has some good stuff I plan to get someday.

I’ve used this one a good bit. They are in Canada. They have domestic US shipping as well.

Jus' surfin' the web... Race Tech has fork tubes. I put in the info for my '80SG and they have 'em for about 220 bucks. Anyone ever buy forks from 'em? $220 for a set seems reasonable to me, but I've never priced replacements before. Anyone have any comments... good or bad?

Disclaimer: I don't need fork tubes, I just plugged my bike in to see what happened.

Anyone?
